Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an article like pillows, cushions, upholstered stools and similar, used particularly to rest the head and/or support the body. Description of the Prior Art
  • the stuffing material of a pillow can be manufactured with many materials, such as feathers, foams, fabrics, fibers, etc.
  • a pillow with its non-removable and/or non-washable stuffing material also presents as a disadvantage the fact that the stuffing material is subject to deformation due to the weight of the user's head when resting on the pillow. Therefore, the user's neck assumes an uncomfortable position that may yield spine aches and even a serious night's sleep.
  • the pillow stuffing material may be composed of any variety of fiber but it is preferably composed by biologically inert material, such as polystyrene, polyester, nylon, etc, intended to hinder the proliferation of microorganisms dangerous to health. Additionally, the stuffing material is removable and may be washed separately from the rest of the pillow.
  • stuffing material may be contained in bags or porous bags to make the process easier of its removal from and insertion into the pillow.
  • the US 4.959.880 document also describes a pillow featuring a removable stuffing material. More specifically, the stuffing material from this pillow is composed of a fabric located inside of it and also by one or more packages (containing the said fabric) that may be independently removed or inserted inside the pillow. Therefore, the user is able to adjust the ideal height of the pillow, for a comfortable sleep, through the insertion of packages inside the pillow.
  • the majority of the Prior Art pillows, even equipped with means to modify the quantity of stuffing material are not capable of providing a homogeneous height of the stuffing material, this means, it causes discomfort to the user, besides other problems produced by the wrong posture assumed by his spine.
  • the present invention intends to solve the above mentioned problems as: - inconvenience regarding the washing of articles such as pillows;
  • the invention refers to an article used to rest the head and/or support the body of the user, which comprises of a body that contains a stuffing material with at least one refill, where such refills and body are composed of a first and a second bases associated to a first and a second plurality of fibers, respectively, which are attached to the mentioned bases.
  • Figure 1 - Represents a perspective view of a first variety of the article covered by the present invention, with details of its interior;
  • Figure 2 - Represents a perspective view of the parts that compose the object covered by the present invention
  • Figure 3 Represents a perspective view of a first variety of the article covered by the present invention with details of its interior;
  • Figure 4 represents a bottom view of the refill belonging to the article covered by the present invention;
  • Figure 5 Illustrates the article covered by the present invention involved by a pillowcase
  • Figure 6 Illustrates the article covered by the present invention with details of the refills contained inside it;
  • Figure 7 Illustrates the article covered by the present invention with more details of the refills contained inside it. Detailed Description of the Invention
  • the present invention describes an article used to rest the head and/or support the body of the user, which comprises of a body that contains a stuffing material with at least one refill characterized by the fact that the said refill and body are composed of a first and a second base associated to a first and a second plurality of fibers, respectively, which are attached to the mentioned bases.
  • Examples of products that can compose the article covered by the present invention are: ⁇ Pillows;
  • the article covered by the present invention presents multiple advantages and characteristics that are desired in products of this kind, some of which are listed below: > the article covered by the present invention presents a solution for the inconveniences related to the washing of articles such as pillows, present in the objects currently known. Due to its construction and the materials used, it is possible to wash and dry the whole article (body and stuffing material) in washing and drying machines. As a result, such articles will pre- sent a much better hygiene;
  • the washing of the article covered by the present invention can be quickly, easily and efficiently performed; > as a result of the characteristic described above, the article covered by the present invention will feature a longer use life, because it will not be necessary to dismantle the article due to the build up of dirt as, for example, fluids originated from sweating and saliva, as it happens with the products currently known;
  • the stuffing material composed of at least one refill is a whole piece. Therefore, when inserting the stuffing material into the body of the article covered by the present invention, a homogeneous height is obtained, thus avoiding a deformation due to the regular use of the object;
  • Article 1 the object covered by the present invention, comprises of a body 2 substantially shaped as a hollow wrapping element, as may be seen in photo 5, and comprising of a second base 7 associated to a second plurality of fibers 8, as may be seen in figures 1 through 3.
  • Body 2 presents, preferably, a longitudinal section with rectangular shape, as may be seen in figures 1 and 2.
  • the longitudinal section of body 2 may present other shapes as circular, triangular and asymmetric, among others.
  • a second base 7 presents a shape according to the ideal shape for the manufacturing of body 2. In this sense, if the shape of the longitudinal section of body 2 is rectangular, the second base 7 will also present a rec- tangular shape where its height is substantially smaller than the length of the longitudinal section of body 2.
  • the second base 7, is preferably manufactured from a textile material of natural or synthetic origin. However, it is possible to use other materials capable of attaching a second plurality of fibers 8 that will be detailed below.
  • An example of alternative material for the manufacturing of the second base 7, is a polymeric material as latex.
  • the second base 7, is preferably made of flexible material to attend to the consumer's preference.
  • body 2 is prepared.
  • the second base 7 shall be folded in half and its perimeter shall be attached, with exception of one of the sides, so the refills 4 may be inserted inside it.
  • the side that is not attached will correspond to one of the smaller sides of body 2.
  • the attachment means of these sides may be, for example, sewing or gluing.
  • a plurality of fibers 8 shall be attached to the second base 7. These fibers 8 may also be manufactured from textile material of natural or synthetic origin. Also, as described for the second base 7, other materials may be used, as polymers such as polypropylene. This second plurality of fibers 8 presents a length substantially longer than its width. A preferred e- xample of fiber 8 to be used in the manufacturing of article 1 is lamb's wool. By using these materials, both in the preparation of the second base 7 and in the second plurality of fibers 8, the possibility of washing and drying article 1 , and its components as body 2, in an efficient and easy way is accomplished. Therefore, the build-up of human fluids and consequently, the proliferation of microorganisms that may cause illnesses are avoided. Stuffing material of article 1
